Here are images of the 2008 silver proof set and the corresponding mint set. The proof sets (since 1968) have been packaged in hard plastic...
Some sellers buy the proof sets just to break them down and submit the individual coins for grading and certification. The presidential dollar...
This is a long-standing flaw in the Mint's ordering system. I first noticed it in 2007 with my First Spouse orders. All the orders I've placed...
I thought this article was well grounded in reality. Then, in the 9th paragraph it went totally off the rails into fantasy land........ "Now...
An ebay listing refers to "RARE! head and tail" rolls. The coins are oriented randomly when they go into rolls. The probability of having a...
I agree. Ironing works on fabric because the fibers are bent, but are still intact. A crease in paper means the fibers of the paper have been...

These guys are geniuses compared to Alice Regina Pike, a 35-year-old Georgia woman who tried to pass a $1,000,000 bill at a Walmart. Beyond the...
well, you guys have certainly answered my next question which is whether they are likely to go up or down in value. Wouldn't that depend on how...
